O/T new name for Football League will be...

[Conrad]

Ah well.

Another round then?

Given financial strains on football clubs this season..

Quite appropriate sponsor name for FL as next season is likely to see the lights go out on a few of its FL members..

At least they’re not altering the names of the divisions beyond the sponsor’s prefix this time. So we are spared the pathetic attempts to convince us that “League One” and, before that, “League Division Two” were somehow progressively superior to the 3rd division as was. Idiots.

And while I’m on the subject, why can’t they understand that “League One” and “League Two” are not leagues at all, they are separate divisions of the football league. Every other country seems to be able to cope with this simple concept.

It's still Divisions 1, 2, 3 & 4 to me. Old habits die hard.

Apart from Premiership.. It is still Division 1,2,3 to me!

I still call Blue Square Premier as Nationwide Conference..

Most amuse of all... I still call League Cup as Coca Cola Cup despite it was not called anymore (last in 1998)

Like you say.. Old habits die hard!

I wish it still was - The year that the premiership was formed (1995) Brentford were leading the 2nd division until the end of the season when we were pipped at the post by Birmingham City and finished second. Due to reshuffling the league to have an even 20 teams in the premiership only two teams went up from league 2 meaning that Brentford went into the play-offs and lost, which has become their speciality. A popular chant of visiting supporters near the end of a season when we are doing well is 'you're gonna lose in the play-offs, lose in the play-offs, you're gonna lose in the playay -offs'.
